Moscow - A woman in the US state of Texas has killed her
adopted Russian son, the Kremlin's envoy for children said on Monday, outlining
the latest alleged abuse of an adopted Russian child by American parents.
"Three-year-old Maxim was beaten [according to the
investigators] by his adoptive mother, who fed him psychoactive drugs over a
long period of time," ombusdman Pavel Astakhov said on his office's
Twitter feed @RFdeti.
"He died before the arrival of the ambulance called
by his adoptive mother. According to the autopsy report, the boy had many
injuries."
Russia has long complained about the treatment of Russian
orphans adopted by American parents and in December controversially passed a
law banning adoptions of Russian children by Americans.
Astakhov said the murder took place in late January and
expressed unhappiness with Washington's response.
"The Russian embassy found out despite the lack of
reaction by the state department," said Astakhov.
